Jennifer Lopez sued for $300,000 over unauthorized use of red carpet Photos

Actress and singer, Jennifer Lopez is facing a $300,000 lawsuit for allegedly posting copyrighted photos from the 2025 Golden Globe Awards on her social media without proper permission.
 


On January 5, Lopez appeared on the red carpet in a flowing white gown and faux fur coat. She later shared five photos from the event with the caption “GG Weekend Glamour,” which quickly went viral across fan pages and media platforms.

Photographer Edwin Blanco and his agency, Backgrid, have filed a copyright infringement suit, claiming Lopez posted two of their images without authorisation. They are demanding $150,000 per photo in damages.
 


The lawsuit argues that Lopez used the images to boost her personal brand, tagging her clothing and jewellery designers and promoting her fashion partnerships.

“Ms Lopez’s unauthorised use of the images is commercial in nature,” the complaint states, noting that she leveraged the publicity for self-promotion.
 


It also alleges that her team had previously agreed to licensing terms, but Lopez has yet to complete the deal.

This isn’t Lopez’s first legal run-in over photo rights. She was sued in similar cases in 2019 and 2020 for posting professionally taken images without clearance.
